Short Statement:
The annual number of respondents has decreased in EIA-23L because we are able to cover more than 90% of total production for both crude oil and natural gas from a sample of 420 respondents. The EIA-64A is a census, where the number of natural gas processing plants has decreased to 458 from 600 because of divestitures and mergers and acquisitions.
